e- A community exists in one of two modes; it is eitherwaxing (gains

wisdom ) when the majority are unselfish orwaning(loses wisdom )

when the majority are selfish. The mode of a community is a result of

the majority mode of their citizens, who themselves exist in one of two

separate modes. A citizen is either

i. unselfish and prepared to sacrifice private interest for the common

good.ii. selfish and prepared to sacrifice the common good for private interest.

f- The majority persecute the minority mode . The majority will always

treat the minority as outcasts, forcing them to become isolated and alienated.

In the vital mode the immoral win social stigma, in the dissolute mode the

moral are viewed as simpletons.

g- A community fails when its citizens no longer imbue the founding

morality into their off-spring (see the law of reverse civilization). This is

because the majority of parents are either

Sejarah yg lama, The idea of Europe as an entitity or even a quality has a rather long

history in Europe.

Christianity became the core value of "Europe".

The growing rationalisation of the European states influenced the meaning of

"Europe". The 16th century witnessed a growing use of the concept of Europe in aninternational political context. A state discourse replaced the religious discourse.

States began to "speak" to each other on a formalised scene which was referred to as

"Europe". "Europe" was less a religious value and more a system of criss-crossing

relations (military, economic ,diplomatic and even legal relations - hat were contained

within ideas of international law). The Europe-as-a-system concept focused on state

rationalism (raison d'tat). But this value was accompanied by an idea of Europe as a

cultural value. Instead of Christianity the concept of "Europe" was combined with

"civilization". This concept can be seen as a secularised parallel to Christianity. It

took form in - what we might broadly call - an imperialist discourse used in the

encounters with the New World. In their representations of the Indians (as they werenamed) the Europeans placed themselves and their continent in a superior, position

which was related to civilization.

meanings of civilization developed in Europe from the 18th century. These are:

- civilization as a cultural entity (based on religion)

- civilization as a universal process and a final aim (history)

- civilization as a space in time (from this follows the potential existence of several

civilizations)

- the existence of a European/Western civilization

These qualifications for civilised people: are all attached to people ( consists of

manners (moeurs), politesse (politeness or polished), civility or urbanity (urbanit)..

Civilization is only the last phase in the development ofcultures

Civilization became the structuring principle of world history, both its driving forceand its end result - i.e., civil society

There are three fundamental respects in which Western culture is objectively the

best. These are the core values or core achievements of Western civilization, and what

made America great.

1.Reason. The Greeks were the first to identify philosophically that knowledge is

gained through reason and logic as opposed to mysticism (faith, revelation, dogma). Itwould take two millennia, including a Dark Ages and a Renaissance, before the full

implications of Greek thought would be realized. The rule of reason reached its zenith

in the West in the 18th century the Age of Enlightenment. For the first time in

modern history, writes one philosopher, an authentic respect for reason became the

mark of an entire culture. America is a product of the Enlightenment.

2.Individual Rights. An indispensable achievement leading to the Enlightenment

was the recognition of the concept of individual rights. John Locke demonstrated that

individuals do not exist to serve governments, but rather that governments exist to

protect individuals. The individual, said Locke, has an inalienable right to life, liberty,

and the pursuit of his own happiness. The result was the United States of America.(Disastrous errors were made in the West for example, slavery, which originated

elsewhere, and Nazism but these were too incongruent with Western values to last

and were corrected, by the West, in the name of its core principles of reason and

rights.)

3. Science and Technology. The triumph of reason and rights made possible the

full development and application of science and technology and ultimately modern

industrial society. Reason and rights freed mans mind from the tyranny of religious

dogma and freed mans productive capacity from the tyranny of state control.

Scientific and technological progress followed in several interdependent steps. Men

began to understand the laws of nature. They invented an endless succession of new

products. And they engaged in large-scale production, that is, the creation of wealth,

which in turn financed and motivated further invention and production. As a result,

horse-and-buggies were replaced by automobiles, wagon tracks by steel rails, candles

by electricity. At last, after millennia of struggle, man became the master of his

environment.

The result of the core achievements of Western civilization has been an

increase in freedom, wealth, health, comfort, and life expectancy unprecedented

in the history of the world.

Samuel Hungtington: A civilization is the highest cultural grouping of people and the

broadest level of cultural identity people which distinguishes humans from other

species

Ada identiti tersendiri: Western civilization is thus formed by Western Christianity

(which, conveniently, seals it off from Eastern Christianity). Unik, sesuai dengan

masyarakat Barat sahaja, dynamic, homogenus, have a cultural identity
